The nitrile can be hydrolyzed to the free acid by treatment with a mineral acid, i.e., HC], H 80 H PO and the like at temperatures of about 60125C.

Carboxylic acids of Formula (3) wherein r and p are 0 and n is at least one can be prepared by reaction of a suitable iodide with an alkali metal cyanide, preferably in alcoholic solution, at temperatures between about 60100C. to form the nitrile, and hydrolyzing the nitrile as described above.

:Carboxylic acids of Formula (3) wherein r is 0, m is p at least 1, p is 1 and X is hydrogen can be prepared by reacting a suitable iodide with either S0; to form the corresponding pyrosulfate or with oleum to form the corresponding -,hydrosulfate.

The alcohol can then be oxidized,to form the free acid with dichromate, permanganate or strong nitric acid in known manner. The preparation of the alcohols is described in greater detail in copending US. application of Anello et aL, Ser. No. 721,089, filed Apr. 12, 1968. The pertinent subject matter of this application is hereby incorporated by reference.

Carboxylic acids of Formula (3) wherein m is 0 or an integer, r and n are 0, p is 1, and X is fluorine can be prepared by reacting suitable iodide with S0, to form the corresponding acid fluoride and fluoropyrosulfate and hydrolyzing with water to form the free acid.

Carboxylic acids of Fonnula (3) wherein m, n, and p are 0 and r is 2, can be prepared by reacting a suitable iodide with a Grignard reagent to form a magnesium halide adduct, reacting the adduct with CO, to form the magnesium halide salt and acidifying the salt to the free acid. Preparation of these carboxylic acids are described in greater detail in copending applications of Anello etal.,Ser.Nos. 721,115 and 721,117, filed Apr. 12, 1968. The pertinent subject matter of these applications is hereby incorporated by reference.

amine group and a terminal tertiary amine group, at temperature between about 0200C. When the free carboxylic acid is employed, temperatures of about 100C. or more are generally employed but lower temperatures can be used when the ester is employed. The reaction can be carried out in the presence or absence of an inert solvent. Suitable inert solvents include either, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformarnide, heptane, benzene and the like.

Suitable polyarnines are well known and include for example 3-( N,N-dimethylamino)propylamine, 2-( N,N- dimethylamino)-ethylamine, 2-aminomethyl-6-methylpyridine, 2-amino-5-diethylaminopentane, 3-(4- methylaminobutyl)pyridine, Z-(B-methylaminoethyl)pyridine, N,N,N-triethylethylenediamine and the like.

The quaternary ammonium compounds of the invention are prepared by reacting an amine of Formula (2) with a suitable quaternizing agent to form the corresponding salts. The compounds are characterized by a positively charged nitrogen atom attached to a polyfluoroisoalkoxyalkanamide group; to two lower alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or to two carbon atoms which are part of a pyridyl or alkyl-substituted pyridyl ring, corresponding to R, and R described above; to a group contributed by the quaternizing agent which can be hydrogen, alkyl or the residue of a carboxylic acid or ester, and an anion contributed by the quaternizing agent. in the case where a lactone or sultone is employed as the quaternizing agent, the positively charged nitrogen atom is attached to a negatively charged group to form a compound having an inner salt structure.

Quaternizing agents are well known and conventional and include for example alkyl halides, haloacids and esters, alkyl sulfates, sultones, B-lactones, mineral acids and organic acids. The structure of the compounds of the invention will vary somewhat depending on the nature of the quaternizing agent. For example, when a compound of Formula (2) is reacted with an alkyl halide, such as methyl iodide, the resultant c0mpound has the formula When a compound of Formula (2) is reacted with a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid, the resultant compound has the formula When a compound of Formula (2) is reacted with a B-lactone, such as B-propiolactone, the resultant compound has the formula When a compound of Formula (2) is reacted with an excess of a compound giving a divalent anion such as dimethyl sulfate, the resultant compound has the formula Suitable quaternizing agents include alkyl halides such as methyl iodide, methyl bromide, ethyl chloride and the like; haloacids such as chloroacetic acid, chloropropionic acid, chlorosuccinic acid and the like; haloacid esters such as chloroethyl acrylate and the like; alkyl sulfates such as dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate and the like; sultones such as 'y-propane sultone, O-butane sultone and the like; fl-lactones such as B- propiolactone and the like; mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid and the like; organic acids such as acetic acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid and the like. Although a stoichiometric amount of the quaternary agent or acid is required for complete reaction, generally an excess will be employed.

The quaternization reaction can be carried out in the presence or absence of an inert solvent. Suitable solvents are diethyl ether, acetonitrile, dimethylformarnide, N-methylpyrrolidone and the like.

The temperature of the reaction is not critical. When the polyfluoroisoalkoxyalkanamidcs are reacted with strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid, or a reactive quaternizing agent, such as methyl iodide, the reaction proceeds readily at ambient temperatures. When less reactive quaternizing agents are employed, such as chloroacetic acid, higher temperatures of about l00l50C. are preferred to increase the rate of reaction.

The resultant quaternary ammonium compounds are frequently obtained as solids when an inert solvent is employed. They can be readily separated, washed and dried. The products can be isolated from solution by addition of a nonsolvent, as will be known to one skilled in the art. The products can be employed as obtained or can be further purified if desired by recrystallization from an appropriate solvent or solvent mixture. Products obtained as viscous liquids can be further purifled by extraction with a suitable solvent.

The preferred compounds of the invention have the formula:

wherein R, and R, are fluorine or perfluoroalkyl of one to two carbon atoms, t is an integer from l-lO, u is an integer from 0-10, X can be hydrogen or fluorine and is hydrogen when u is at least I, x can be 0 or I, Y and R COO or -80; group.

The quaternary ammonium derivatives of the present invention are useful oil repellents for a variety of substrates, including textiles, papers, plastics, metals, leather and the like and can be applied from aqueous or organic solution. They are useful both as internal or external sizes for paper.

The compounds of the invention are also highly effective surface active agents at low concentration. When added to water or aqueous solutions, these compounds lower the surface tension materially. They are also useful agents to lower the surface tension of organic solutions. Such solutions contain a variety of solvents including hydrocarbon solvents, such as benzene, toluene, xylene and the like; halogenated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethane or carbon tetrachloride; dimethyl forrnamide, dimethylsulfoxide and the like.

The compounds of the invention are useful as additives to dry powder fire extinguishing compositions. When such compounds are mixed with conventional dry powder fire extinguishing compounds, the novel compounds effect one or more of the following results: (a) enhances the fire extinguishing capabilities of the powder, (b) promotes the free flowability of the powder, (c) increases the compatibility of the powder with other fire extinguishing agents, and (d) serves an an anti-flashing agent to prevent reignition in the event flammable conditions become reestablished in the treated area.

Illustrative conventional dry powder fire extinguishing compounds include the following: sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, calcium carbonate and mineral barytes. A variety of other additives may be incorporated with these dry powder fire extinguishing compounds.

For best results, the novel compounds should be intimately mixed with the dry powder fire extinguishing components. This may be accomplished, for example, by grinding the dry fire extinguishing component or components and the novel compound together in a ball mill. Alternatively and preferably, these materials may be intimately mixed by a procedure which comprises dissolving the novel compound in an inert organic solvent, such as acetone or acetonitrile, slurrying the dry powder into the solvent, evaporating the solvent from the solution and then drying the product, for example, at 100C. Additional grinding in a suitable mill may be desirable to optimize the free flowing characteristics of the powder. Whatever mixing means is employed, the novel compound forms a continuous or discontinuous layer or coating on the powder surfaces. It is theorized that this fluorochemical layer is desorbed from the dry powder during the fire fighting and forms a film on the surface of the volatile fuel. This serves to suppress the vaporization of the fuel, thereby tending to prevent reflashing of the fire if flammable conditions become reestablished.

The amount of novel compound is not critical and will vary depending on the particular compound chosen and the composition with which it is formulated. The optimum amount can be determined by routine experimentation. Generally, the novel compound should be used in at least about 0.1 percent by weight of the composition. For practical reasons, nothing is to be gained by using a composition of greater than 5 percent by weight of the novel compound.

The dry powder formulations containing the novel compounds may be applied in the conventional manner from containers pressurized with compressed air or carbon dioxide.

The invention can be illustrated further by the following examples, but it is to be understood that the invention is not meant to be limited to the details disclosed therein. In the examples, all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise noted.
